Why have previous societies collapsed? What did it mean for the people living through it? Is our own globalised, industrialised society also heading for collapse and what can we do to prevent it?
In this talk, Luke Kemp, researcher at Cambridge University's Centre for the Study of Existential Risk, will explore the ideas in his recent book "Goliath's Curse: The History and Future of Societal Collapse". Through a radical retelling of human history, he will dispel many myths about civilisation and collapse.
Considering the ways forward for our own society, he will look at how different forms of Open Democracy, from citizens assemblies to mass digital deliberations, might help us to avoid the catastrophic risks we face today.
Luke’s session will include a one-pot vegan supper and discussion.
Doors open at 6.30pm for drinks. Talk starts at 7pm.
